Following the successful launch of his first Sportviz product, optical expert Bob Forgan is launching a prescription ski mask to add to his growing range of sports eyewear for active people with vision problems.

Forgan, who is also managing director of Anglo Italian Optical, launched his first Sportviz product, the Aquaviz Swim Mask featuring his patent pending unique snap in ‘Inzert’, back in March this year.

Receiving acclaim from both consumers and media, interest in the prescription swim mask continues to grow, both in the UK and overseas.

The new ski mask now offers winter sports enthusiasts the chance to see clearly on the slopes, as well as giving them a clear view of the stunning mountainous scenery.

Sportviz Ski includes the unique snap in prescription lens ‘Inzert’, which can be fitted with ophthalmic lenses to match the wearer’s exact prescription, providing clear 20/20 vision for all glasses wearers, including Bifocal and Varifocal. The Inzert can also be interchanged between any prescription Sportviz mask, including the Aquaviz swim and snorkel masks.

Lightweight and aerodynamic, the high quality TPU Sportviz Ski Mask ensures cold temperature flexibility and triple layer face foam guarantees not only warmth, but a perfectly comfortable ‘mask to face’ fit which seals out all wintry elements. The Double Spherical lens design offers full UV protection and incorporates decentred technology for exceptional clarity, comfort and performance. Forgan is also working on future products, including sports sunglasses and a premium mask for use in triathlon and open water swimming. Further details are expected to be soon released on these.Bob Forgan commented: “There has never been an affordable prescription ski mask option for glasses wearers, yet safety on the slopes is paramount and clear panoramic vision will avoid costly accidents and also aid enjoyment”.

“My aim with the Sportviz range of prescription eyewear is to provide every active glasses and contact lens wearer with the opportunity to have safe 20/20 vision at an affordable price, whether it be in a swimming pool, on the slopes or participating in a Triathlon.”
